DINITROTOLUENE BIOREMEDIATION

Dinitrotoluene


Dinitrotoluene(DNT) is typically produced by nitration of toluene with nitrating acid (actually it is mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid), commercial specifications of DNT contents (as the total content of 2,4-DNT and 2,6-DNT isomers mixture) is more than 98.5%. Most DNT is used in the production of toluene diisocyanate(TDI) which is used to produce flexible polyurethane foams. DNT is hydrogenated to produce toluene diamine, which in turn is phosgenated to form toluene diisocyanate(TDI). It is not used by itself as an explosive, but it could be converted to TNT which is well known in explosives industry.

Our topic is neither TDI nor TNT, but DNT is also known as an important intermediate in chemical synthesis, dyes, plastics styrofoam, plastics, artificial leather etc. DNT Isomers is very easy to get from market if it is for TDI and TNT manufacturing. but the isomer mixture do not perform very well to in chemical synthesis like intermediate, dyes etc. under such circumstance, we design the high purity of 2,6-dinitrotoluene and 2,4-dinitrotoluene which is complete different from isomers mixture in cost structure and final application, we contribute a lot to enrich downstream industry like 2,6-diaminotolune (Synonyms:2,6-toluenediamine, 2,6-TDA) , 2,6-dihydroxytoluene etc.
